I’m back from fishing.Actually, I’m back from a fabulous trip with
my daughter all the way “Down Under”.What a fabulous experience.I
belong to a wonderful Yahoo Group “C-R-A-F-T” and each year they hold a quilt
retreat in Australia.So, this year I was lucky
enough to join them and also have a great trip with my daughter, Jolene.I am going to try and make my photo
challenges fit with the trip.Now that
is a challenge and a bit of a stretch.

The first challenge picture is “Three
Things”.I made one of these
little selvage bags for each of the retreaters and a few extra: sixteen in all. Then Jolene and I stuffed some “American”
things inside.

The “Frame” photo is of my
Tablet charging.It was used for
internet connection, and proved pretty darn successful most times.

Australia felt so “Near”
by the time we got to the airport.We
left on a late night flight, which was perfect for sleeping.There’s Jolene guarding our easy-to-spot
luggage.

It was “A Good Thing”, no, a perfect thing
that we took a backstage tour of the Sydney Opera House AND saw the opera, Madame Butterfly.I can’t tell you how wonderful the Opera
House is to see up close and personal.

Another “Me
Then” picture was a challenge photo.So, here you go….the two of us with the Opera House behind
us.

We were on a mission, or “Errand”, to see a Kangaroo during
our travels.Our first spotting was of
all places, on a golf course (Sorry I cannot remember if we were in Ipswich or Brisbane).

We were so very lucky to have you join us...it really topped off the retreat having both you and Jolene here....the kangaroos were half way between Ipswich ( no T) and Brisbane in an area called Wacol....hugs Khris
